HOW FUSS AND FEATHERS WENT
TRAVELLING.

Donald is West Virginia boy, and
Fuss and Feathers are two of his many
pets. Feathers is a most friendly hen.
Once, she had a nest in box in Donald's
room. Every day, she left great white
egg in the box, then few out of the win
dow cackling. San egg dayl an egg
day! go barefoot! go barefoot she said.
And Fuss answered, 81 can't get shoe
to fit your footl can't get a shoe to fit
your foot it's forkedl it's forkedp
At least, that is what Uncle Fred told
Donald they said. And Uncle Fred
knows all about hens and chickens. Well,
once these two went travelling; and this
is how it was. There came warm rains
that winter. These rains filled the little
streams, and melted the snow in the
mountains. They poured into the great
Ohio River, and made it overflow its
banks. The towns near the river we're
flooded, and the farm lands covered. 1t
came up around the house of Donald's
father. One night, the water came in at
the doors; and they all had to hurry up
stairs. The next morning, the hen-house
was gone. Donald cried when he thought
he would never see his pets again, but
Fuss and Feathers took care of them
selves. The chickens on the lower roost
were drowned; but they kept on the upper
perch, and went sailing down the river.
Fuss was frightened at the water below
him, and flew to the open window of the
hen-house. Feathers followed. Such a
world of waters as they saw. Haystacks
and fences were floating near them.
Away they went, past the farms and near
the great towns. They were very hungry.
Feathers kept quite still, but Fuss crowed
sometimes in a lonesome sort of way.
They hoated almost day, and we're many
miles from home, when some men in
skitfs put rope around the hen-house,
and drew it ashore. They were taken to
a strange yard and fed.
At last, the waters went down. Donald
again played in the yard, but was sad for

The authority to purchase bonds is
confined by statute to the Secretary Of the
Treasury, and not to the President and II
allows the surplus to be invested in bonds
that shall be cancelled. That appears to
be a curious law, as under ordinary cir
cumstances the President can remove a
Cabinet officer for injudicious acts. But
if there were two hundred millions in
the Treasury, and the head Of the depart
ment used it all to pay fifty or one hun
bred per cent. premium for the bonds
the purchase would be binding, even
although the President demonstrated and
forbade. And any assistant or chief clerk
happening to be temporarily at the head
Of the department would have the same
power.

THAT ADDRESS

The Reform address is n OF those
smart little tricks organized under false
colors with a show and p%retense Of virtue
that its sponsors may play make'belleye
with on the verdsnt. There is a solid Dem.
ocratic vote in Richmond that will equal
any numbers that the Reform party can
bring from the Republicans. But there are
also about 1900 or 1900 Democrats who
are not classed as actively interested IN
politics. and may be kept at home by the
faults Of their own party or led on by
spccious promises by the lndepend-
enis. 10 them We have 10 say that
this SAME address bears upon Its face
the ear. marks of one Of MahOne's apOs-
ties 50 clearly that the other features are
not necessary 10 complete the identity OF
the portrait. II anybody in Richmond
can believe in the Democratic character
OF n Of the Rcformers, let him Judge
them By the company they keep.
As for that part Of the address which
charge. the Law and Order League to
the Democratic party, it is certain that
the League declined to put up candi-
dates and did this, as Democrats, in the
interest Of the party, acting a. individu-
ais. as we are informed, and not in an
organized capacity.
We stated at the time that II it was recog-
nized that there vert two factions, one
the League and the other the Knights o.
Labor. that as the League declined to
put up candidates, the knights should
do the same thing, and decline to at as
an organized body in politics.
Whatever way this business is settled
we advise now, as We have done,
that ali Democrats be asked to act with
their party for the sake Of its principles,
and to preserve those principles. As to
the party being run by the League or by
the Knights, one proposition is AZ absurd
the other.
The question before the people OF Rich
mond, and especially before the Demoo-
racy of the city, is whether we are to be
put In the hands of the Republican party
or not. The fact that there is an alleged
Reform party canyassing with the Re
publicans only makes the Republicans
more Odious.

Miss Fanny Davenport has bought the
right to the performance in America Of
Yictorien Sardou's last play, La Tocsa,
in which Sarah Bernhard will shortly
appear
The price Was $4,000 but as the re-
ceipis for the play in one season would
be more than that, il cannot be doubted
that the authos is not overpaid by any
means. The geniu, for dramatic compo.
sition is very rare, aud as the theatre is

good piece ought To be commensurate to

The Hcrdld calls attention to the plan
OF enlisting men in New York for the
German army which of course is against
u laws according to which such an act is
. A" high misdemeanor.' When England
went to wal with Russia in 1854 this
country gave her the assurance OF our
neutrality during that struggle, but soon
after England attempted to recrur sol
diers in New York. The English Min
lister Mr.. Champion was accused of com
plicity in the act and was dismissed.
The principle was emphatically sus-
tanned then that no foreign power had
the right 10 enlist soldiers in this coun-
Try, and it will doubtless be As positively
asserted now.
